          Do you enjoy stealth action games? Then this game is for you. It looks like its a updated Splinter Cell with a little more action and some cool tech. This video shows some really interesting gameplay. Hand to Hand, Stealth, Tech based tricks and takedowns, a lot of interacting with the environment. The takedowns and finishers are pretty spectacular. For me it all rides on the story. I need a really good story to compel me through games. No matter how flashy the gameplay is. This game makes me think if Splinter Cell had game babies with Hitman and Adopted Dues Ex. The result of that family would be this game. So here's Hoping Hype stands up and delivers.

Games of 2013!

Deadspace 3 3: Feb 2013 Lets see if it lives up to its Legacy. I know it will still probably creep my wife out to where she hides her face with the couch pillows. Also in Feb 2013 : Crysis 3 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Rayman Legends Tomb Raider : March 2013 Some of my first and most memorable moments in the game world was with Lara. Can't wait to see the new direction they take this series. Also in March : Bioschock Infinite  (Yes I am more excited for Tomb Raider) Sim City Gears of War: Judgement God of War: Ascension Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm GTA5 : April 2013 Happy Birthday to me! Hope its as good if not better than 4. If so there goes my April. Also in April : Beyond: Two souls - Said to be "like Heavy rain but with more gameplay" Double Fine Adventure Last of Us : May 2013 This is my game of the year hopefully. It looks like it may have almost everything I want in a good console game. Lets see if it lives up to its hype. Also ...

Last of Us!

Last of Us Trailer! Last of Us! I don't think I have been this excited for a game in a really long time. This game looks really amazing. It has this whole survivor creeping through the halls ala Dead Space. Along with the action of the best Naughty Dog games. The crafting of a Dead island and the story telling of well a naughty Dog game. Not much this game doesn't have. The simple fact that the fights in this trailer are not cinemas but actual player controlled is amazing. This game will be the biggest gaming event of the year from what I can see. Yes Bioshock may ship this year but it’s going to be very similar to the last one so even though it will be a good game it’s not something new and shiny. Give me a comment let me know what you think. Last of Us got you excited?

Realm vs. Realm

http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/ It appears there will be  a BIG emphasis on realm vs realm vs realm play. The three factions attempting control of Cryodil are Daggerfall Covenant, Ebonheart Pact and the Aldmeri Dominion. You can get a detailed description of the realms from the website following the link above. Anyone who is a veteran of the series knows about the separate realms. So I will talk about realm vs realm play. How RvRvR works; 1) Consequences for being killed. In DAOC  when you died you were hammered with huge Exp loss and Money and equip loss. Anything in your inventory not equipped was dropped along with some cash and a chunk of Exp. This alone solves the Guild Wars 2 ZERG play style. Strategy and teamwork rule the day because you can just die over and over bashing your brains into a wall for a hour until you wear them down. Death like real life were avoided if possible. 2) Meaningful rewards. If we take this keep and its holy relic we will be gods! In gui...

Why we punish ourselves!

      Game after game in league of Legends it is the same thing. Trolls and Ragers. So why play? Most games do too teammates I am rendered ineffective as well. Only reason I can think of is the one in five games that I dominate so well that I get a immense feeling of euphoria. Last night I lost two really bad games. They were horrible. Everyone was angry and pissed. But I played a third one anyway. This time I played a lane that is strength to me. Middle, and by the end of the game I had more kills than the rest of my team combined. Our team still had more deaths. But every time the teams clashed and I was there three or four of them went down almost right away. I got a solo unofficial quad kill against full HP players. Being that overpowering and doing that well give you such a feeling that you rarely get but always seek in PVP. This is what Multiplayer games need to accomplish in the future. A relatively balanced pvp exp where skill not playtime or money inves...
